The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مَا اسْمُكَ فَقَالَ جَمْرَةُ . فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَنْ فَقَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ . قَالَ مِمَّنْ قَالَ مِنَ الْحُرَقَةِ . قَالَ أَيْنَ مَسْكَنُكَ قَالَ بِحَرَّةِ النَّارِ . قَالَ بِأَيِّهَا قَالَ بِذَاتِ لَظًى . قَالَ عُمَرُ أَدْرِكْ أَهْلَكَ فَقَدِ احْتَرَقُوا . قَالَ فَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رضى الله عنه .
Yahya related to me from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn al-Khattab
asked a man what his name was. He said, "Jamra (live coal)." "The son
of who?" He said, "Ibn Shihab (meteor, flame)." "From whom?" He said,
"From al-Huraqa (burning)." "Where do you live?" He said, "At Harrat
an-Nar (lava field of the fire). "At which one of them?" He said, "At
Dhati Ladha (one with flames)." Umar said, "Go and look at your family
- they have been burned."
Yahya added, "It was as Umar ibn
al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said."
